Had tuition once a week, but did not put my experience into much practice because the hosts spoke English so well, often beter than myself!! I wish I had practised more now upon reflection and taken it seriously.

Swedish is a wonderful language. If u have the chance, dont miss the signup for the swedish language coursres they do for the exchange students cause they have very limited places.

Once I heard Swedish and I really liked it. I found out the opportunity of studying in English and learning another language plus experiencing the Swedish culture... it was great.
